Big Freakin' snails

[goldenboy]

Yesterday I was at the lfs and got ten of the biggest snails I've seen. They were about the size of golf balls. I got some for a friend that had a algae problem on his LR and in 12 hours they did an incredible job. I'll post some pics if I get a chance, but there are 2-3" white clean lines where the algae used to be. What's the biggest snail out there.

Sounds like a Turbo.

Yeah mine's a turbo, but is that the biggest out there?

This is the best I can do with my 55 gallon. The bicolor in the photo is about 4".

No no, I don't count conchs. But a tennis ball is BIG!!! I've got some golf ball sizes, and I think that's plenty big.

Im not kidding at all about the tennis ball size snail. It looked like an over grown turbo snail. If I think about it I will call them and ask what it is.
